Welcome to the wonderful world of adoption!
Hi,
I saw your post and I actually grew up on Long Island (until I was 6 years old, anyway). That's some crazy story that guy told your DH! But then again, my mother's best friend from college adopted 2 girls (both adults now) who've been nothing but trouble (legal, financial, physical, mental). So my mother likes to remind me of this on a daily basis. Don't let it get you down, though. You just get to your own comfort level and then decide what to do.
After YEARS of discussion, one bdaughter and one miscarriage (we weren't financially or emotionally prepared for the IVF route) DH and I have recently decided upon China. Our application was just accepted through CCAI and I like to think of myself as "in the first trimester."
All the best to you. This China Forum is amazing. You'll learn lots here!
Regards,
Karen
